Hyattsville Farmers Market – This market has moved to a new, reachable destination at the corner of East-West Highway and Queens Chapel Road. It is open every Tuesday from 3:00 – 7:00 p.m. starting on June 2 and ending on September 29.

International Foods – There are many international food markets in Hyattsville – such as New Grand Mart International, Bonivia International Foods and Afrik International Food Market – that sell fresh products that can be used to balance out your diet.

Active Living means you are staying physically active in order to maintain a healthy weight. This doesn’t mean you need to spend three hours on the treadmill every day, because in reality, no one has enough time in the day to do that. It does mean that you should be dedicating some time each day to participating in something active! Two fun and simple ways you can stay active near ROSS’ apartments in Hyattsville are:

Fitness Centers – Select ROSS’ communities provide residents with access to state-of-the-art fitness centers. No matter your ability or strength, the gym is always a great place to escape the outside world and spend time focusing on yourself.

Whether it’s a game of tag, a walk with a few friends or a game of fetch with your dog, these parks are a perfect place for you to maintain an active lifestyle because they’re always available for outdoor recreation and fun.
